“Dragon
Times
is a journal for the serious martial arts enthusiast [its] newspaper format
eschews gloss and trends to focus on the history and philosophy of martial
arts. It is filled with in-depth, accurate articles about the many aspects
of the martial arts. Dragon Times relies on prominent instructors
in the field to provide articles and information backed by expertise and
knowledge. The publication will benefit most those who have a base knowledge
of the martial arts. Recommended for any library where a serious interest
exists." Michael
Colford, MA.

Important
Notice! From March 2003, at the request of our distributor, Dragon
Times will evolve into a regular magazine format publication called Classical
Fighting Arts which will allow it to be more widely distributed. The publisher,
writers, and design team will be the same. All paid subscriptions to Dragon
Times will be honored in full, and existing subscribers need do nothing, they
will simply receive Classical Fighting Arts instead of Dragon Times from March
this year. Dragon Times currently has the second largest readership in the
U.S. and we hope that the change to a more upmarket format will help us grow
even more. We feel we have the very best writers in the business and welcome
the opportunity to give their work greater exposure. Click

to Dragon Times
…while Dragon Times is principally dedicated to
the martial arts of Japan, China, and the Okinawan Archipelago, we are open-
minded to the extent that we often publish articles on related subjects from
outside our area of specialization. From time to time therefore you will find
within our covers material on Boxe Francaise-Savate,
Thai Boxing, English Prize Fighting, European Fencing, and other legitimate
martial arts.
